International Connectors and Cable ICPCSY01WH Patch Cord CAT 6 Slim Clear SR 28 AWG

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICPCSY01WH is a 1-foot, Cat 6, slim patch cord designed for high-density network environments. Its reduced cable outer diameter (OD) and low-profile snag-free strain relief make it ideal for tight spaces in server racks, patch panels, and wall plates where standard bulky cables would impede airflow or prevent proper port density. This pack contains 10 white cables, suitable for organized network labeling and deployment.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 patch cord is compatible with all standard Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networks operating at 1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps respectively, provided the connected equipment supports these speeds. It interfaces with any standard RJ45 Ethernet port found on network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. The 28 AWG construction is suitable for runs up to 100 meters (328 feet) for Gigabit Ethernet, though shorter runs are recommended for optimal 10GbE performance. Its slim profile is particularly beneficial when connecting devices in dense switch configurations or within compact network enclosures.

Installation Notes

The snag-free strain relief boots prevent cable damage during installation and removal, ensuring the integrity of the connection. The reduced OD (approximately 3.5mm) allows for tighter bend radii than standard Cat 6 cables, facilitating easier routing in crowded patch panels. Ensure the RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their ports for a stable connection. The white color coding can be used to segment network traffic or identify specific device connections within a rack.
